Q. Select the outlier in the data set.67,69,71,74,75,78,79,83,596If the outlier were removed from the data set, would the mean increase or decrease?Choices:(A)increase(B)decrease
Identify Outlier: Step 1: Identify the outlier in the data set.Data set: 67,69,71,74,75,78,79,83,596.Outlier is the number that is significantly different from the rest of the numbers. Here, 596 is much higher than all other numbers.
Calculate Mean with Outlier: Step 2: Calculate the mean of the data set including the outlier.Mean = (67+69+71+74+75+78+79+83+596)/9=1322/9≈146.89.
Calculate Mean without Outlier: Step 3: Calculate the mean of the data set without the outlier.Mean without outlier = (67+69+71+74+75+78+79+83)/8=596/8≈74.5.
